She has been working with environmental education for nature’s conservation and this made her also understand life through the lenses of deep ecology. She is now a collaborator of the Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research (CENSE), doing her PhD in Environmental and Sustainability at NOVA University Lisbon. She is conducting her research in the direction of sustainable wellbeing in higher education institutions.
